PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE WATER: Trustee Farley presented a Resolution and proposed Agreement SELL TO PROSPECT that would authorize and establish regulations for the sale HEIGHTS of Village water to the City of Prospect Heights. Due to the fact that the documents were distributed to the Board members the evening before the meeting, it was the feeling of the Mayor that additional time be granted to the members of the Board for better review. The following residents spoke on the subject of selling water to the City of Prospect Heights: Mr. Sturgell, City Administrator of Prospect Heights Ron Cassidy Jackie McDermott, 617 N. Maple Regina Borgstrom, 604 Dogwood Bob Brettreger Bob Schoe Marie Caylor, 1308 Pima Lane Mary Brettman, 1829 Cree June Kerstein The concerns voiced relative to the proposed sale of Village water to Prospect Heights were: does the Village have such a supply of water that it could sell 200,000 gallons a day; is the conservation program for Village residents still necessary; such action could cause a 'polarizing' effect between Mount Prospect residents presently using Citizens Utilities Water system and the rest of the Village; if Mount Prospect did not supply Prospect Heights with water, that City would be forced to obtain it from Citizens Utilities Water Company which would allow the expansion of that system, making it more difficult to purchase, should that subject be reconsidered by the Village at a later date. The amount of $2.00/M gallons was also discussed inasmuch as Citizen Utility users pay more than that for their residential water. It was agreed that action on the resolution authorizing the Page 6 3/17/$1 s01e of Village water to the City of Prospect Heights would be postponed to May 5, or the next meeting when there would be a full Board in attendance.
